Non violent philosophy should speak to every human’s conscience. The world can be filled with hate, violence, and crude acts or behavior. Never let it soak into your soul. Never repeat the circle of violence as it will never end. Be the nonviolent leader MLK Jr. inspired us to be in his 1967 “Where Do We Go From Here” book.

Love is powerful. Love is kind. Nonviolent resistance is key for leaving an everlasting impact for generations to follow. Our children are watching after all.
